Sounds like he regrets it, which is too bad. But in general he looks defeated. He looks like he's aged 20 years in the last 10. Tough to see a clown and solemn. Hopefully he takes a Bill Cosby turn and becomes the sagacious, even tempered comedian an the sweatered one's absence. In general I just hope he comes back to comedy.

Hopefully he takes a Bill Cosby turn and becomes the laconic, sagacious, even tempered comedian an the sweatered one's absence. In general I just hope he comes back to comedy.

I thought the same thing. Whether it was talking about the money missed or just his tone and physical cues in general, I think he's finally looking back and at least regretting it somewhat. I know it will never happen/it's too late, but damn I would pay for him to jump in a time machine, and crank out another season or two.

 

It was one of those shows that was popular, while at the same time almost having a cult type following that still exists today. In my groups of friends, we still text each other when Chappelle's Show is on TV and will still quote it religiously in everyday conversations.

I don't know if he regrets it, as much as he is trying a little self deprecating humor

 

I have always and will always love Dave Chapelle, it would be great to seem him back. He does look like he has aged a lot. 

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

He still kills it doing stand up...he just played here in Columbia SC like 8 months ago.

I saw him in Charlotte at the Comedy Zone back n 98? I nearly pissed myself but thought he was hilarious when Comedy Central did those shows showing 5 minutes of a comedians set.

He's fattened up.

 

Being rich beotch means food.  Honk honk.

actually he bulked up DA

He basically reached a paradox in which he realized that people were laughing with/at him, but maybe not for the same reasons he was aiming for.

I also think a big part of it was he got tired of the celebrity life, especially the celebrity life that Hollywood wants for black celebrities. I remember an interview or something I saw or read from him where, and he has a point, that Hollywood has, at some point, made most black male celebrities dress in drag for a part. That was something he wasn't comfortable with for himself, and didn't want to be that dude that caved in to someone elses direction while giving up his own ideals.

 

I think the status he achieved turned him into someone who no longer wanted it. He realized life was bigger than money and fame, and just wanted to get away from having to answer to anyone but himself.

Good for him.

Very mature, Rondell.

 

 

 

We still quote it in every day conversation as well.

 

Playing golf just last week.....had to throw out a "for shizzle, I've always wanted to say that" when talking about Tiger

 

 

by far one of the funniest shows I think I have ever watched on a consistent basis. I thoroughly enjoy race related comedy, its funny because most of it is true. 

 

We are all different races and its funny to bring out the truth of the stereotypes with EVERY race, not just one. He really nailed it on everybody too. 

[boo7382]

oh, and killing them softly can still make me pee my pants laughing.

 

and I think I can probably recite the entire stand up word for word.....

 

 

hey baby!!! what are you doing out here late at night standing on the corner? baby!!
